MCP use case
Start next year's budget from your commitments
Ask for committed spend split by what you can forecast. The agent reads the same rollup as the spend page, so variable cost never hides inside a total.
Claude Code
What are we committed to this year, split by what we can forecast?
- Forecastable: $195,100
- Variable: $228,980
- Pricing not recorded: $22,600
- Currencies are listed separately, not converted.
What you get
What changes when the agent does it
A defensible base
Start the budget from contract terms rather than last year's invoices.
Variable cost flagged
Usage and per-seat spend arrive labelled as variable.
Gaps named
Contracts with no pricing model are listed instead of counted.
How it works
Set it up in two steps
This job needs a read-only key.
- 1
Read the rollup
The agent asks for the spend summary, optionally for one budget area.
spend_summary - 2
Draft the plan
It drafts next year's lines from commitments and marks the variable ones.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Does the agent do the arithmetic?
No. The product computes the totals; the agent reads and arranges them.
Why are there several totals?
Fixed and variable spend behave differently, and currencies are never added together.
